I'm trying to make some custom reactions that use skulls specifically, rather than just any bone. For example, the below targets any bone, and I'd like to get it more specific if possible (mostly for vibes-based reasons).

[REACTION:MAKE_SKULL_GOBLET]
[NAME:make bone goblet out of skull]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:NONE]
[REAGENT:bone:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[USE_BODY_COMPONENT][ANY_BONE_MATERIAL][UNROTTEN]
[PRODUCT:100:1:GOBLET:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:bone:NONE]
[PRODUCT_TOKEN:goblet]
[MAX_MULTIPLIER:1]
[SKILL:BONECARVE]
Skulls seem to be a weird case? They're defined as [TOTEMABLE] at the body-part level, but don't have an associated material or item type I can find, or any reaction token I've found that corresponds to TOTEMABLE.

Anyone got ideas for how to target skulls as reagents, or is it just another inaccessible hardcoded thing? Thanks!

I think the ownership wording is a little awkward, but it's more accurate. Socially-constructed genders like Man and Woman don't comport with bodies, for innumerable reasons. People come in more shapes than that binary.

I'm all for streamlining communication, and (as a former med student of trans experience) I can still see the utility of inventing new shorthands for the medical state of a body, for a limited set of circumstances.

But hey, I also prefer a slightly clumsy but more accurate language, to a false oversimplification.

Working on a lore-friendly Playable Kobold mod, with less D&D/tribal vibes. One feature I'd REALLY like is to be able to milk venomous creatures, and apply those venoms to weapons and trap parts. Milking venom is easy, but I cannot get a functional venom onto (or into) a weapon for the life of me!

I've combed through old posts for past attempts to do similar things, but so far I'm having no luck finding a working technique to make a syndrome-inducing weapon/a reaction that creates syndrome spatters.

Things I've tried:

Has anyone had better luck with techniques to create syndrome-inducing weapons or ammo? Ideally, I'd like to let weapon materials pass on their associated syndromes, but if anyone has a reliable way for a reaction to put a functional venom spatter onto a weapon, that'd be great too.

P.S. I know Masterwork can add spatters somehow, but at a glance it uses LUA extensions or something, and I'm trying to make this vanilla-compatible.
